Finding product key for sql server 2008


Great help from this site in finding the product key for an existing sql server 2008 install.

Paste the following into powershell:
function Get-SQLserverKey {
    ## function to retrieve the license key of a SQL 2008 Server.
     param ($targets = ".")
    $hklm = 2147483650
    $regPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Setup"
    $regValue1 = "DigitalProductId"
    $regValue2 = "PatchLevel"
    $regValue3 = "Edition"
    Foreach ($target in $targets) {
        $productKey = $null
        $win32os = $null
        $wmi = [WMIClass]"\\$target\root\default:stdRegProv"
        $data = $wmi.GetBinaryValue($hklm,$regPath,$regValue1)
        [string]$SQLver = $wmi.GetstringValue($hklm,$regPath,$regValue2).svalue
        [string]$SQLedition = $wmi.GetstringValue($hklm,$regPath,$regValue3).svalue
        $binArray = ($data.uValue)[52..66]
        $charsArray = "B","C","D","F","G","H","J","K","M","P","Q","R","T","V","W","X","Y","2","3","4","6","7","8","9"
        ## decrypt base24 encoded binary data
        For ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) {
            $k = 0
            For ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) {
                $k = $k * 256 -bxor $binArray[$j]
                $binArray[$j] = [math]::truncate($k / 24)
                $k = $k % 24
         }
            $productKey = $charsArray[$k] + $productKey
            If (($i % 5 -eq 0) -and ($i -ne 0)) {
                $productKey = "-" + $productKey
            }
        }
        $win32os = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computer $target
        $obj = New-Object Object
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Computer -value $target
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty OSCaption -value $win32os.Caption
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty OSArch -value $win32os.OSArchitecture
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty SQLver -value $SQLver
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty SQLedition -value $SQLedition
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty ProductKey -value $productkey
        $obj
    }
}

Then enter the following:

Get-SQLserverKey

Boom, should tell you the version of the OS, of SQL Server, and the SQL Server Product Key.

Create java keystore using wallet for Digicert wildcard cert


Had a heck of a time getting a DigiCert wildcard cert converted to a Java Keystore for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware 10.3.6.

Here's the procedure I ended up using to get this working:

  1. Create wallet
    1. mkdir $MW_HOME/owm
    2. Start OWM
    3. Create new wallet, store it in $MW_HOME/owm
    4. Enter password for wallet (make note of this for later)
    5. Create certificate request
      1. CN: *.domain.com
      2. OU: YourDept
      3. Org: YourCo
      4. Locality: City
      5. State: MI
      6. Key Size 2048 << important, our CSR will reject without keysize at least 2048
    6. Click on certificate, select operation >> export certifciate request
      1. Enter request.csr in name
    7. Send request.csr to your unix admins
    8. Save wallet, back it up in case you make a mistake with the following
    9. Unix admins send back the following
      1. star_domain_com
      2. DigiCERTCA.crt
    10. Get root.crt from https://ev-root.digicert.com/info/index.html
      1. Copy every thing starting with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE----- in a text file root.crt
    11. In OWM, import certificates
      1. Operations, import trusted certificate, select root.crt
      2. Operations, import trusted certificate, select DigiCertCA.crt
      3. Operations, import user certificate, select star_domain_com
    12. Do not check auto login
    13. Wallet > save wallet
  2. Convert wallet to keystore
    1. export ORACLE_HOME=$MW_HOME/oracle_common
    2. export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    3. export JAVA_HOME=$MW_HOME/Oracle_WT1/jdk
    4. orapki wallet pkcs12_to_jks -wallet $MW_HOME/owm -pwd notapassword -jksKeyStoreLoc $MW_HOME/owm/keystore.jks -jksKeyStorepwd notapassword
  3. Verify keystore
    1. keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks -storepass password
      1. make note of alias for your specific cert
  4. Implement in Fusion Middleware
    1. Login to FMW console
      1. base_domain > environment, servers, click on server name
      2. Keystores tab 
        1. Custom Identity and Java Standard Trust
        2. Custom Identity Keystore: $MW_HOME/owm/keystore.jks
        3. Custom identity keystore type: jks
        4. Custom identity keystore passphrase: notapassword
        5. Save
      3. SSL Tab
        1. Identity and Trust Locations: change to keystores
        2. Private Key Alias, alias from step 3.1.1 above
        3. Private Key Passphrase: notapassword
        4. Confirm Private Key Passphrase: notapassword
    2. Go to general tab
      1. Enable SSL listen port enabled
      2. Set listen port to port 7003
    3. Telnet from another machine to servername:7003 to verify connectivity
  5. You should now be able to connect to servername:7003 with a browser and not get an ugly cert error message.

Hopefully this will help whoever stumbles for this in the future.
